Systemd 234 Released: Meson Build System, Networkd Improvements

[RickXy]

I would actually be very happy if systemd-resolved coud offer a good replacement for Dnsmasq, since is installed by default on My distro of choice, and allow me to set it in a way that it replies with localhost IP address (127.0.0.1) for every request to a .dev domain.
Dnsmasq does a very good job helping in Web developing with Apache virtual hosts.
I wish systemd-resolved would do this part too, so I don't have to install Dnsmasq server alongside and have 2 servers for the same thing.
Somebody asked if it's possible to do this with systemd-resolved and the answer suggests that it's not possible.

And this is what I'm using Dnsmasq for

I think I had a similar request some time back. Check this out: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2183
Maybe you can chime in there

I agree 100%. Linux has been buggy garbage for the last couple years mainly because of these three components. Unfortunately people with more money than brains are making decision for the whole community these days, so avoiding these headaches is now impossible.

Linux isn't as free (as in freedom, not booze) as it used to be. That's a real shame.

of course its as free as its always been. You are free to install and use whatever you like, you just have to put the effort in but if you want to freeload on others work then you accept what they offer or you roll your own distro.

Systemd haters are like flatearthers, only more ignorant.

Anywho, the haters appear to include Linus himself:

How about you read and try to understand the text after that fist sentence? Or at least look at the first post in the sequence? https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/6/6 Because that patch is about adding PaX-derived security hardening features to Linux kernel.

Can you explain how you manage to read that as "Torvalds hates systemd", I have popcorn near me.

Umm, you didn't understand the issue, do you?
His issue is about DNS servers, like dnsmasq and systemd-resolved. Apache is not the point here.

seems like the joke went over your head.
